Percy Jackson in High School

Chapter 1

Annabeth 

"Jason?"

"Yup."

"But.."

"He's cute, and caring, and he's just- don't judge. I like him for a reason." 

"..ah."

My best friend, Piper McLean, just told me that she had a crush on the school's golden boy, Jason Grace. Personally, I didn't see what was so great about him. Sure, a third of the girls in school have a crush on him, but still. "Um.. I have algebra next. How 'bout you?" Piper asked, raising her eyebrow. I sighed. "Science. And I have it with that boy- Leo, pretty sure." 

Leo had blown up two bottles last time because the chemicals that he set on fire (yes, on actual fire, don't ask) we're extremely sensitive to fire. He was also one of Percy Jackson's friends. 

 "How long?" I asked. "'Bout ten minutes." She shrugged, her crop top wrinkling. She smoothed it out. Though Piper and I are pretty much nobody's, we've got a couple compliments about our style once or twice. I started braiding my hair. "So what are you gonna do? You making the first move?" She shrugged. "I dunno. Maybe say hi to him a couple times. By that time, he might get the hint." I nodded. "Smart. Romance is not my thing, so..." 

"Please head to the next class in your schedule. Thank you." 

Piper squeezed the life out of me. "See you later," I waved. 

On the way to class, someone shoved me. 

Drew Tanaka looked down at me and sneered, "didn't you get the message? I'm coming. Shoo! Oh, by the way, you look like a rat." Rachel Dare snickered. Soon enough, a whole group of girls were cackling like evil witches. "Frick off." I muttered. "What did you just say?" Drew batted her eyelashes. "Sorry, frick off? I wouldn't have said that if I were you. Trust me, there's a punishment waiting for every one of the stupid idiots who dare to insult me. Toodles!" She tossed her hair.

I rolled my eyes, heading for room 682.

Mr. O'Conner was sitting at his desk, on his computer, per usual. 

"Right!" He yelled once everyone was in their seats. "I up names on the board, the one right next to it is your partner."

I groaned.

Annabeth / Thalia

I think this is gonna be horrible.

"Hey." 

"Um.. hi." 

"The chemicals will be on your work area, and your goal is to make all of those colors turn blue! Get to work, get to work!" 

"Annabeth, right?" 

"How do you know that?"

"Shh." She put a finger to her lips.

"How do you work this stuff?" She asked, about to pour the oil mixture into the acid mixture.

"No no no no no." I said rapidly, using my hand to block it. "Ok, so you put the soap into this first, then you pour the H2O-"

"Water."

"-water, to make it a bit bubbly."

I continued to pretty much lecture Thalia on science. 

This isn't as bad as I thought. I thought.

"Wanna sit with us at lunch today?" 

I gasped, made an o? O? Sound , pointing to me then Thalia. "Yeah. You could totally help some of the people in our friend group with learning. I'ma tell Mr. O'Conner to change that F to an A. I'm gonna be like the best in class now." 

"And.."

"Piper? Yeah, she can too. And don't think we don't pay attention to you."

I nodded, speechless, this happened so quickly.

Annabeth is right! That did happen super fast.
